The main difference, I believe, between my personal approach to history & that of many scholars, is that where they spend the majority of their time attacking the sources, I tend to use them. The key is learning how to read a difficult & oblique text, rather than declare it as phantasmagorical & discard it completely. Modern scholars also tend to trust each other's work a tad too much, putting complete faith in their school & schooling rather than their own abilities. The York historian Guy Halsall summed up the attitude perfectly. After countering his anti-Arthurian stance with some new evidence, he retorted by saying, 'I've looked at your bibliography & you don't know anything.' The thing is, my bibliography in the main consisted of primary sources, & his insistence on me not knowing anything was based upon my not quoting from the academic handling of this source material. On faced with the Chispological evidence which proves Arthur's existence, Guy – who had just published a book 'disproving' said Arthurian existence – had this lot rather charmingly to say;
Your 'chispology' is nonsense, it breaks all the rules of serious scholarly practice, so no one, other than you and whoever else has been smoking whatever you have been, will take it seriously. I doubt there is any chance of me, or anyone else who actually knows what they are talking about, being able to convince you as, from your writing, you are – clearly – insane but still, if it makes you happy keep on with your fiction-writing. Far be it from me to keep you from your fun, but if you are thinking of conning people out of their hard-earned cash on the basis of your pseudo-studies, that I do object to.
Moving on quite regardless, let us now attempt to find the truth in another Dark Age event long considered – by academics – 'not to have actually happened.'
It is time for the introduction into Chispological studies of a concept known as the Factotree. What the Babel-Tree is to words, the Factotree is to historical events, which must be rooted in either a solid fact or a hyperbasis. Throughout my Jesus Jigsaw studies, for example, a flourishing factotree has grown rooted in a single, international holy man. Along one branch he is remembered in the Judeo-Christian tradition, with smaller sub-branches shooting off into Islam. Along another branch he is remember'd in the Hindoo tradition, with sub-branches leading off into Tamil mythology, & so on. On this occasion I would like to explore more fully the connections I show'd in the last chapter concerning the philochisps latent between the Frisians & a Pictish group known as the Niuduera. The chief correlation is that, just as the Niuduera of Fife resided by what was known as the 'The Frisian Shore,' in Galloway we may observe a River Nith flowing through the town of Dumfries – the 'hillfort of the Frisians.' To solve the conundrum, just as I elucidated the Babel Tree system of philochains, I would now like to impose a similar structure onto the factochain, rooted upon the following hyperbasis:
Hyperbasis: A group known as the Western Herulians are the ethnographic basis of the Frisian invasion of Britain, out of which sprang certain elements of the Anglo-Saxon diaspora & also a new group among the Picts, rather like the Norman invasion a few centuries later, when the native Saxon population were dominated by Norman warlords. For ease of dicate I shall name them Herulo-Picto-Frisians.
As Humanity has developed, every new race that arrives on the planet is actually a composite blending of other, earlier tribes, so such an entity as the Herulo-Picto-Frisians is perfectly possible. A key start to proving their existence is to identify other connections between the Herulians, the Frisians (especially around the Firth of Forth) & the Picts in Galloway. Firstly, we may connect the Scandinavian origins of the Heruli with a passage in Saxo Grammaticus, Scandinavia's Big Geoffesque historian, in whose Gesta Danorum we read; 'Hadding chanced to hear that a certain giant had taken in troth Ragnhild, daughter of Hakon, King of the Nitherians.' The Nitherians were Norwegian, & there were many men called Hadding among them, known collectively as the Haddingjar. The county town of East Lothian, on the south shores of the Frisian Sea – the Firth of Forth – is called, quite interestingly, Haddington. The sagas also describe the son of a King Hadding call'd Frodo, who attacked & subdued Scotland in his father's name! If my hyperbasis is correct, then the return of the Herulian nobles to Scandinavia c.500, as recorded by Procopius, where they were led by 'many of the royal blood,' to settle 'at the Getes' has some connection with the Norwegian Nitherians.
So much for the trunk of our theory. Branching out once more, there are Pictish symbols found in the area of the Mote of Mark hillfort in Galloway, among the most southerly symbols in the whole pantheon. Another match-up is the discovery at Whitecleuch, 12 miles north of Drumlanrig Castle in Galloway, & also at Traprain Law in East Lothian, of tangible hallmarks of Pictish nobility – two heavy, double-link'd silver chains.
The Galloway Picts are mentioned in the early Middle Ages, and the arrival of our conjectured Herulo-Picto-Frisians in the area seems remembered by William of Malmesbury, concerning an account of the discovery of the grave of Walwin (Gawain) in 1087: 'he reigned a most renowned knight in that part of Britain which is still named Walweitha, but was driven from his kingdom by the brother and nephew of Hengist.' Hengist was the star of the Saxon Advent, i.e. the Teutonic invasion of England in the middle of the 5th century. 'Hengist, who cannot have been a Dane,' remark'd John Kemble, 'is a Frisian, appears as such in the genealogy of the Kings of Kent, and is the fabled conqueror of Britain.' The last bit of the sentence refers to Henghist & his surly crew basically running rampant over Vortigern, inviting loads of their drunken German mates over on the booze-cruise which basically created England. Crucially for our factotree, a contingent of these, our hyperbasis'd Herulo-Picto-Frisians, establish themselves in Scotland; a story ably told by Nennius.
Hengist, in whom united craft and penetration, perceiving he had to act with an ignorant king, and a fluctuating people, incapable of opposing much resistance, replied to Vortigern, "We are, indeed, few in number; but, if you will give us leave, we will send to our country for an additional number of forces, with whom we will fight for you and your subjects." Vortigern assenting to this proposal, messengers were despatched to Scythia, where selecting a number of warlike troops, they returned with sixteen vessels, bringing with them the beautiful daughter of Hengist. And now the Saxon chief prepared an entertainment, to which he invited the king, his officers, and Ceretic, his interpreter, having previously enjoined his daughter to serve them so profusely with wine and ale, that they might soon become intoxicated. This plan succeeded; and Vortigern, at the instigation of the devil, and enamoured with the beauty of the damsel, demanded her, through the medium of his interpreter, of the father, promising to give for her whatever he should ask. Then Hengist, who had already consulted with the elders who attended him of the Oghgul race, demanded for his daughter the province, called in English Centland, in British, Ceint, (Kent.). This cession was made without the knowledge of the king, Guoyrancgonus who then reigned in Kent, and who experienced no inconsiderable share of grief, from seeing his kingdom thus clandestinely, fraudulently, and imprudently resigned to foreigners. Thus the maid was delivered up to the king, who slept with her, and loved her exceedingly.
The Ochil Hills especially connect well with Octa and Ebusa's presence in the Firth of Forth. On investigation, my mate Skene show'd how the Anglo-Saxon territory covered great swathes of the Scottish eastern coast;
The first and principal seat of them {The Frisians} appears to have been the northern shore of the Firth of Forth, and extending along the shore of Forfarshire, and perhaps Kincardine, as far as Stonehaven… This region hears the indications of a Saxon population in the peculiar term applied to the hills which is here so frequent, viz. Laws ; and the frontier range itself hears the name of the Sidlaw Hills…. The second locality in which I think we can trace them is that part of the coast of East-Lothian where it projects into the Firth, a great promontory consisting of the parishes of Dirleton and North Berwick, and where there was anciently a ferry to the opposite coast of Fife, which is here not more than eight miles distance.
That Hengist was a Frisian can also be discerned by matching his genealogy with a stone memorial found near Edinburgh. When Bede tells us Hengist was the 'son of Vitgilsus, whose father was Vecta, son of Woden' we have a direct match up to an inscribed 6th century memorial called the Cat Stane, which stands in the precincts of Edinburgh Airport. It reads;
In this tomb lies Vetta son of Victus
This lineage is extended in the Historia Brittonum, which tells us that Hengist and his brother Horsa were, 'sons of Guictglis, son of Guicta, son of Guechta, son of Vouden, son of Frealof, son of Fredulf, son of Finn, son of Foleguald, and Foleguald son of Geta.' Using the Chisper Effect, let us connect the last two names 'Foleguald son of Geta' to Filimer & Gadaric, who appear in the Scandinavian origins of the Herulians as given by the 6th century historian, Jordanes.
Now from this island of Scandza, as from a hive of races or a womb of nations, the Goths are said to have come forth long ago under their king, Berig by name. As soon as they disembarked from their ships and set foot on the land, they straightway gave their name to the place. And even to-day it is said to be called Gothiscandza. Soon they moved from here to the abodes of the Ulmerugi, who then dwelt on the shores of Ocean where they pitched camp, joined battle with them and drove them from their homes. Then they subdued their neighbors, the Vandals, and thus added to their victories. But when the number of the people increased greatly and Filimer, son of Gadaric, reigned as king–about the fifth since Berig–he decided that the army of the Goths with their families should move from that region. In search of suitable homes and pleasant places they came to the land of Scythia, called Oium in that tongue. Here they were delighted with the great richness of the country, and it is said that when half the army had been brought over, the bridge whereby they had crossed the river fell in utter ruin, nor could anyone thereafter pass to or fro
The presence of Henghist's father in Scotland fits well with an account in the life of St. Germanus of Auxerre which says the holy man visited Britain about 430 AD to fight heresy, during which period he led an army against the Saxons, who were raiding southern Britain in conjunction with the Picts. An actual date for the 'Alleluia Battle' as historians call it, of 428AD, may be accurately calculated thro' chapter 66 of the Historia Brittonum and its mention of Roman consuls.
Vortigern reigned in Britain when Theodosius and Valentinian were consuls, & in the fourth year of his reign the Saxons came to Britain, in the consulship of Felix and Taurus
Elsewhere, in the bardic tradition of the Welsh, we encounter a Frisian element in connection to Arthurian forces fighting Cynocephali at Edinburgh. It is found buried in a collection of poems known as 'The Black Book of Carmarthen,' thought by scholars to date from the middle of the thirteenth century. In the heart of one of these poems, the charming list of obscure Arthurian battles known as Pa Gur, we are told;
On the heights of Eidyn
He fought with cynocephali.
By the hundreds they fell
To Bedwyr's four-pronged spear.
The key clue here is the word 'cynocephali,' which translates as Dog-heads. The name should derive from an ancient pre-battle tradition of warriors donning dog-masks & drinking blood. Paul the Deacon describes a group of 5th century Lombard warriors, doing just that, as in they; 'pretended to have some cynocephali (that is, men with dog's heads) in their camp, & they circulated among their enemies a rumour that these warriors never tired of fighting, that they drank human blood, & if they could not lay hands on an enemy, sucked their own blood. In order to make this story more credible, the Lombards increased the number of tent & lit many fires in their camp. The enemy being made credulous when these things are heard and seen, dare not now attempt the war they threatened.' The Lombards are known to have shared with the Heruli the use of animal art and braceates (see Lottery Hedeager, European Journal of Archaeology I, 1998) while a Lothian connection to the Cynocephali comes through the Edinburgh's fringe town, Pencaitland, whose name may have derived from the Pengouet as given in the Life of St. Gozenovius; 'Dog-heads or canica capita are, in Breton, Pengouet.'
In an Old English manuscript on the Marvels of the East, the Cynocephali are glossed as 'healf hundingas.' According to Scandinavian sagas, the Hundings had a feud with another tribe called the the Wulfings. Saxo Grammaticus describes how the Wulfing king, Helgo, slew Hundingus, king of Saxony: 'he conquered in battle Hundingus the son of Syricus, king of Saxony, at the city of Stadium (Stade) and challenging him to a single combat overthrew him. For this reason he was called 'the slayer of Hundingus,' deriving a glorious surname from his victory.' This places the Hundings in the region of Stade, at the mouth of the Rhine, & close enough to the Frisians to be counted among the latter's number. The 'half' element could reflect the hyperbasis that the Hundingus were of Herulian stock. Confirmation of the Hunding-Herulo-Pictish-Frisians connection comes again thro' Saxo, who mentions one of Hengist's sons – Hesce/Esc – as being one of Helgo's generals.
He took Jutland from the Saxons and gave it to his generals Hesce, Eyr and Ler to hold and administer. In Saxony he decreed that the freeman and the freedman should have an equal wergeld, wishing, as it seems, to make it perfectly clear that all the families of the Teutones were equally in bondage and that the whole nation had been degraded by the loss of their freedom to an equally dishonourable condition.
This passage also offers direct support for the theory we are building, which when combined with the account of Henghist's connection to the 'Oghgul race' furnishes a perfectly composite platform, or a Factobasis, upon which we may stand the following hyper fact. There is an Ochiltree which can be found by the River Ayr (anciently Vidogara), whose name change could well have occurred during an occupancy of the region by the Oghgul General, EYR. The very same area is also connected quite heavily thro' historical tradition and topographical philichisps to King Cole/Coel, the founder of the ruling houses of the Dark Age North, known as the Hen Ogledd, with an obvious Oghgul transchisper. It will come as no surprise, then, to witness the following Babel Chain.
This Babel Chain leads us to Harleian pedigree 19, where Coel's name appears as GYL, a perfect match for Kyle – the district in Ayrshire said to be named after King Coel himself

In any Factotree, it is inevitable that the historical leaves which spring from one branch will appear in close metaphysical proximity to those leaves sprung from other branches. This is the foliage of a Factotree, and in this instance we may associate the Ayrshire Oghguls with the Scandinavian branch of our theory. According to Saxo Grammaticus, King Cole heralded from Norway, & was slain by Hamlet's father, Horwendil. His name here is KOLLER which connects to LER, the comrade of Hesce and Eye, and could actually mean LER the OGHGUL.
Horwendil held the monarchy for three years, and then, to will the height of glory, devoted himself to roving. Then Koller, King of Norway, in rivalry of his great deeds and renown, deemed it would be a handsome deed if by his greater strength in arms he could bedim the far-famed glory of the rover; and cruising about the sea, he watched for Horwendil's fleet and came up with it. There was an island lying in the middle of the sea, which each of the rovers, bringing his ships up on either side, was holding. The captains were tempted by the pleasant look of the beach, and the comeliness of the shores led them to look through the interior of the springtide woods, to go through the glades, and roam over the sequestered forests. It was here that the advance of Koller and Horwendil brought them face to face without any witness… they began the battle. Nor was their strangeness his meeting one another, nor the sweetness of that spring-green spot, so heeded as to prevent them from the fray. Horwendil, in his too great ardour, became keener to attack his enemy than to defend his own body; and, heedless of his shield, had grasped his sword with both hands; and his boldness did not fail. For by his rain of blows he destroyed Koller's shield and deprived him of it, and at last hewed off his foot and drove him lifeless to the ground. Then, not to fail of his compact, he buried him royally, gave him a howe of lordly make and pompous obsequies.
The 'howe of lordly make' mentioned by Saxo is found in the grounds of Coilsfield House in Ayrshire, of which burial mound local tradition says it was that of King Cole. Knowing that Koller was the King of Norway, we can now gain an insight into the etymology of the Dark Age title, Guletic. It derives, as can be seen, from the name Gulating (Old Norse Gulaþing), which was an annual parliamentary assembly which took place in Gulen (Gyl Hen?), on the west coast of Norway north of Bergen, from at least 900AD. Its roots, however, may have stretched back centuries to the days when the Kings of Norway were also known as the Guletic.
The connection between the Brythonic word for old – gogled/ogledd – & the Oghguls may now explain the presence of the Niuduera in the areas we have highlighted. With Niud transchispering into Nith, we are led pleasantly to North, with its translation into Ogledd neatly sealing the chain into a cohesive circle.
Backtracking once again, the evidence for EYR's comrade in arms, HECSE, being in Britain may be found by combining archaeological evidence with the scholarship of Big Geoff. The latter records the activities of Eosa/Esc & his son, Octa (some texts say Octa is the father of Esc) offering fealty to Ambrosius Aurelianus.
Aurelius led his army unto York to beleaguer Octa, Hengist's son… moved thereto by the ensample of Octa, came Eosa and the rest of them that had fled and begged for mercy. He assigned unto them, therefore, the country upon the borders of Scotland, and confirmed a covenant with them
This places Eosa/Esc in York, in which place an Anglo-Saxon helmet was found at the Coppergate which records a man called 'Osher.'
In the name of our Lord Jesus, the Holy Spirit and God; and to all we say Amen / Oshere / Christ
The name transchispers into Oisc, an early king of Kent who ruled for twenty-four years, from 488 to 516 (Gesta Regum Anglorum). Bede records;
This Ethelbert was the son of Irminric, whose father was Octa, whose father was Orric, surnamed Oisc, from whom the kings of Kent are wont to be called Oiscings. His father was Hengist, who, being invited by Vortigern, first came into Britain, with his son Oisc, as has been said above.
The Coppergate helmet feels very much a cultural match for several 6th century, highly ornate helmets were excavated from the soil at the small Vojvodina village of Berkasovo, Serbia – a site of Herulian settlement in the Age of Justinian – & also the 'Vendel' helmets of the same era found in possible Herulian areas in Scandinavia.
We now come to a beautiful philochisp as regards to our hyperbasis. The Nennian version of Esc's name is 'Ebusa,' which according to my hyperbasis would be the Uuirp/Erip of the Pictish King List. His son, Nechtan, was said to be a King from the 450s, whose name does reflect Octa, as in;
Let us now backtrack along the branches to Esc's father, Henghist, who turns up in an Anglo-Saxon poetical fragment known as 'The Fight at Finnesburh,' outwith the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. The translation below is by Benjamin Slade & in it we see the presence of Hengist in some form of civil action between the Frisians at Finnesburg & the Jutes of Jutland.
Then proclaimed Hnaef, the battle-young king:
'This is not the eastern dawn nor is a dragon flying here
nor here does this hall's gables burn.
But here they bear forth, birds screech,
the grey-coated wolf bays, the war-wood clashes,
the shield answers the shaft. Now the moon shines,
wandering under the clouds; now woe-deeds come to pass
which this people's hatred desires to fulfil.
But awake now, my warriors,
grasp your linden-wood shields, resolve upon courage,
strive to the vanguard, be high-spirited.'
Then arose many a gold-laden thane, girded his sword
then moved to the door the noble champions
Sigeferth and Eaha, drew their swords,
and at the other door, Ordlaf and Guthlaf
and Hengest himself came just behind them.
The warriors returned then to seek their houses,
bereft of friends, to see Frisia,
their homes and high fort; yet Hengest
the death-stained winter spent with Finn,
in a place with no fellowship at all; he remembered his land,
though he could not drive on the sea
the ring-prowed ship: the sea welled in storm,
fought against the wind; the winter locked the waves
in icy bonds, until came another
year to the courtyards, as it still does now,
those which continuously carry out their seasons,
gloriously bright weathers. Then winter was gone,
fair was the Earth's breast; the exile was anxious to go,
the guest of the dwellings; he of vengeance for grief
sooner thought than of sea-path,
and whether he a bitter encounter could bring about,
for that he of the Eotens' sons inwardly remembered;
so he did not refuse the worldly practice,
when to him Hunlafing the battle-light,
the finest blade he placed on (Hnaef's) lap;
among the Eotens its edges were known.
At this juncture I would like to give a sample of some of the sagely confusion surrounding Hengist. Bede says the word Eotan is a translation of the Latin Iutae, or Jutes, & Raymond Wilson Chambers, in his 'Introduction to the Study' of Beowulf gives a pretty concise account of the academic head-scratching around the possibility;
If 'Eoten' means 'Jute' as it is usually agreed that it does, why should the Frisans be called Jutes, seeing that a Frisian is not a Jute? It is not necessary to assume that Frisians are called Eotenas or Jutes. All that we are justified in deducing from the text is that Frisians & Eotenas are both under the command of Finn. Now I agree that it is probable that Eotenas means Jutes; &, as I have said, there is nothing improbable in a Frisian king having had a clan of Jutes, or a body of Jutish mercenaries, subject to him. But that the Frisians as a whole should be called Jutes is, per se, exceedingly improbable, & we have no shadow of evidence for it.
The 'shadow of evidence' does exist, however. If the Firth of Forth is known in the same time period as both as the Frisian Sea & the Sea of Iodeo (or Iudeu), & with the latter names easily transchispering into Bede's Iutae, then once again the Dark Age candles lit by the The Chisper Effect help to illuminate a portion of our lost knowledge. It seems, then, that the Firth of Forth was also once known as the Sea of the Jutes. The name Eoten may have even influenced the etymology of Edinburgh – known as Etain in 638 – which could have been originally the 'Eotens burh.' The Ravenna Cosmography of c. 700 AD even places a 'Euidens' in the area (Euidensca is a corruption, with the ca element actually belonging to the next settlement, Rumabo, ie Carumabo=Cramond), while the curious quasi-Pictish broch near Duns, to the South East of Edinburgh, known as Edin's Hall, transchispers easily into Eotens Hall. This particular structure, set in a wonderful naturalistic enclave of the Borders built on the site of an older Brythonic fortress, fits perfectly into the Herulo-Picto-Frisian idea through archaeology, dating & location. Indeed, while visiting the hall, & reading the 'mystery' on one of the boards there, I chuckl'd quietly to myself thinking, 'mystery solved!' There may also be a deepr chisper in play, for Edin's Hall was once known as Wooden's Hall, perhaps Woden's Hall. With Henghist being a descendant of Woden according to the geneaology, & also one of the Sons of Eotan, then surely Woden is a key link in the babel-chain.
We must also enter into the equasion a fragment of a stone found in a church wall at the southern shore of the Maelar (Strängnäs) in Sweden. Its inscription reads;
.rilaR .wodinRh
This connects the Herulians to the wolf-cult of Woden, which included the Lombards among its devotees. Academic concensus portrays the name Eotan was an early version of the Jute, the Teutonic tribe which occupied Kent, which explains how a Scotland-based Ochta took over the kingship there. Big Geoff records, 'after the death of his father Hengist, came from the sinistral part of the island to the kingdom of Kent, and from him have proceeded all the kings of that province, to the present period.' In comparing the Henghists of the Old English poetry to that of the histories, Chadwick neatly summarized the philochisps buzzing about like bees between the Jutes & the Eotan;
As for the tribes to which they belonged that of the Kentish Hengest is called by Bede Iutae (Iuti), while in English translations we find Ytena, Eota, Iutna, Iotum. The tribe to which the other Hengest belonged is called in Beowolf Eotena, Eotennum.
A Frisian Edinburgh leads us to an interesting passage in a 13th century text known as the Lancelot-Graal, one of the 'Vulgate-Cycle' collection of Arthurian sagas that sprang up on the pages of the French poets. During my studies I became convinced that one of its creators must have had local knowledge of Edinburgh & its environs. The crucial passage reads;
They spent their days in travel until they came to Arestel & found the king laying siege to the Rock, just as the maiden had said, & the rock was so strong that those in it feared nothing except being starved. It had been secretly fortified at the time Vortigern married the daughter of Hengist the Saxon
This paragraph is one of countless others swirling about an early 13th century text known as the Vulgate Cycle, or more popularly the Lancelot-Grail (LG). This pretty-to-read, five-part medieval romance was composed piecemeal between about 1200 & 1230, its authorship accredited to several different authors, from Cistercian monks in France to the Welsh writer Walter Map. It is in the second part of the cycle that we encounter the siege of Saxon Rock, & the writer gives us so much topographical detail that the Rock seems more than just a product of the imagination. What first caught my eye was the name Arestel, which could well have lent its name to Restalrig, an area of Leith which I know very well, living as I do just off Easter Road. In fact, I've caught the single-decker number 25 to Restalrig many times – its usually a bit cramped but its not so bad a journey. In addition we see described a certain water-protected fortress on a lofty 'Saxon Rock,' which perfectly matches Edinburgh castle, once half-surrounded by the now-drained 'Nor Loch,' & which Nennius stated as being given to Henghist & co back in the 5th century. Also in the area, says the Cycle, lay the 'Narrows of Godalente,' which fits in with Lothian once being the demense of the Brythonic tribe known as the Gododdin, who Ptolemy called the 'Otalini.
At this point we can be quite certain that the Frisians came to Britain in the middle of the 5th century. It is my supposition that they were actually Herulians, or more precisely a sub-group known to historians as the Western Heruli. Let us first sum up what we know about the Herulians. In the deeper histories their homelands were in Scandinavia. From here they moved en masse into the Roman world, settling in the Balkans by the Black Sea, & fought as foedarati in the ranks of the legions. By the 6th century they had begun the process of returning to their northern roots, & by the middle of the 6th century disappeared from conventional histories. Thus there are two main groups of Heruli – ie Scandinavia & the Baltic coasts – & the Eastern. In the 5th century, a third group evolved – the Western Heruls, the evidence for whom I shall place alongside notices in the ASC & elsewhere for the activity of Henghist with the idea that they were part of the same piratical group.
Early 300s: The Laterculus Veronenses (Verona List) of Roman provinces places Heruls were in north-west Europe between the Rugi and the Saxons. A familial relationship with the Rugi is suggested by the Verona List placing some Eastern Heruls at that time living between the Sarmathae & another group of Rugi living near the island of Rygen in the Hunnic area.
360s: Ammanius describes Herulians as having their homes beyond the Rhine (laribus transrhenanis). He also groups them with the Bataves, who lived at the mouth of the Rhine – very much the Frisian heartland. Indeed, the stretch of Frisian coast known as Ostfrisia, was called Herloga by Adam of Bremen in the 11th century & in the 9th century Herulingo/Herlogango.
400: The Roman Empire's hold over Britain was about to massively implode. Just as on the continent, in Britain a series of barbarian tribes were piercing the Empire's borders, spreading death, havoc & terror throughout the peace-loving Romano-Britons. Of these invasions, the Roman poet Claudius Claudianus, considered by many to be the last great poet of the Roman world, wrote in his eulogical 'On the Consulship of Stilicho:' 'when I too was about to succumb to the attack of neighbouring peoples – for the Scots had raised all Ireland against me, and the sea foamed under hostile oars – you, Stilicho, fortified me. This was to such effect that I no longer fear the weapons of the Scots, nor tremble at the Pict, nor along my shore do I look for the approaching Saxon on each uncertain wind.'
407: In his 'On the Gothic War,' Claudius describes the removal of a legion in the north in order to defend the continental empire; 'there also came the legion set to guard the furthest Britons, the legion that curbs the savage Scot and scans the lifeless patterns tattooed on the dying Picts.' This strategic withdrawal by the Romans stripped the frontier defences of Roman Britain. As soon as the Romans left, Gildas tells us;
As they were returning home, the terrible hordes of Scots and Picts eagerly come forth out of the tiny craft (cwrwgs) in which they sailed across the sea-valley, as on Ocean's deep, just as, when the sun is high and the heat increasing, dark swarms of worms emerge from the narrow crevices of their holes. Differing partly in their habits, yet alike in one and the same thirst for bloodshed —-in a preference also for covering their villainous faces with hair rather than their nakedness of body with decent clothing—-these nations, on learning the departure of our helpers and their refusal to return, became more audacious than ever, and seized the whole northern part of the land as far as the wall, to the exclusion of the inhabitants.
409: Herulian pirates attack Gaul (Hieromnimus).
410: The Gallic Chronicle of 452 records, 'the Britains were devastated by an incursion of the Saxons.' In his Historia Nova, Zosimus writes, 'Honorius wrote letters to the cities in Britain, bidding them to take precautions on their own behalf.'
428: The 'Alleluia Battle' sees a combined force of Saxons & Picts invade southern Britain. The details are recorded by Saint Germanus. As one of the oldest documents we possess concerning British history (written by Constantius of Lyon, c.480) it is well worth a read;
Chapter Seventeen
Meanwhile, the Saxons and the Picts had joined forces to make war upon the Britons. The latter had been compelled to withdraw their forces within their camp and, judging their resources to be utterly unequal to the contest, asked the help of the holy prelates. The latter sent back a promise to come, and hastened to follow it. Their coming brought such a sense of security that you might have thought that a great army had arrived; to have such apostles for leaders was to have Christ Himself fighting in the camp.
It was the season of Lent and the presence of the bishops made the sacred forty days still more sacred; so much so that the soldiers, who received instruction in daily sermons, flew eagerly to the grace of baptism; indeed, great numbers of this pious army sought the waters of salvation. A church was built of leafy branches in readiness for Easter Day, on the plan of a city church, though set in a camp on active service. The soldiers paraded still wet from baptism, faith was fervid, the aid of weapons was thought little of, and all looked for help from heaven.
Meanwhile the enemy had learned of the practices and appearance of the camp. They promised themselves an easy victory over practically disarmed troops and pressed on in haste. But their approach was discovered by scouts and, when the Easter solemnities had been celebrated, the army–the greater part of it fresh from the font–began to take up their weapons and prepare for battle and Germanus announced that he would be their general [dux proelii, "leader for this battle"]. He chose some light-armed troops and made a tour of the outworks. In the direction from which the enemy were expected he saw a valley enclosed by steep mountains. Here he stationed an army on a new model, under his own command.
Chapter Eighteen
By now the savage host of the enemy was close at hand and Germanus rapidly circulated an order that all should repeat in unison the call he would give as a battle-cry. Then, while the enemy were still secure in the belief that their approach was unexpected, the bishops three times chanted the Alleluia. All, as one man, repeated it and the shout they raised rang through the air and was repeated many times in the confined space between the mountains.
The enemy were panic-stricken, thinking that the surrounding rocks and the very sky itself were falling on them. Such was their terror that no effort of their feet seemed enough to save them. They fled in every direction, throwing away their weapons and thankful if they could save at least their skins. Many threw themselves into the river which they had just crossed at their ease, and were drowned in it.
Thus the British army looked on at its revenge without striking a blow, idle spectators of the victory achieved. The booty strewn everywhere was collected; the pious soldiery obtained the spoils of a victory from heaven. The bishops were elated at the rout of the enemy without bloodshed and a victory gained by faith and not by force.
Thus this most wealthy island, with the defeat of both its spiritual and its human foes, was rendered secure in every sense. And now, to the great grief of the whole country, those who had won the victories over both Pelagians and Saxons made preparations for their return. Their own merits and the intercession of Alban the Martyr secured them a calm voyage; and a good ship brought them back in peace to their expectant people.
441: The two Gallic Chronicles (452 & 511) record, 'the Britains, which to this time had suffered from various disasters and misfortunes, are reduced to the power of the Saxons.'
This probably connects with a possible chisperball presented by the ASC, which incorrectly squidges up the activities of Henghist into the period of Marcian & Valentinian's co-rule of Rome. Where Marcian was the Eastern Roman Emperor from 450 to 457, Valentinian ruled from 419- 455. The ASC's version is that in 449, 'Marcian and Valentinian assumed the empire, and reigned seven winters. In their days Hengest and Horsa, invited by Wurtgern, king of the Britons to his assistance, landed in Britain in a place that is called Ipwinesfleet; first of all to support the Britons, but they afterwards fought against them.' According to HM Chadwick in his 'The Origin of the English Nation' when Gildas writes of the Saxon Advent, he 'does not give any reference to the reign of Martianus & Valentin inauspicious.' The truth in the matter is that the complies of the ASC confused the advent with the time Marcian ruled on his own, tho` the Saxons were clearly operating in Britain thro`the 450s. Gildas, then, provides the purest form of the Saxon Advent, written from the harrass'd Brythonic point of view, an edited version of which reads;
Then there breaks forth a brood of whelps from the lair of the savage lioness, in three cyulae (keels), as it is expressed in their language, but in ours, in ships of war under full sail, with omens and divinations… They sailed out, and at the directions of the unlucky tyrant, first fixed their dreadful talons in the eastern part of the island, as men intending to fight for the country, but more truly to assail it. To these the mother of the brood, finding that success had attended the first contingent, sends out also a larger raft-full of accomplices and curs, which sails over and joins itself to their bastard comrades…. In this way were all the settlements brought low with the frequent shocks of the battering rams; the inhabitants, along with the bishops of the church, both priests and people, whilst swords gleamed on every side and flames crackled, were together mown down to the ground, and, sad sight! there were seen in the midst of streets, the bottom stones of towers with tall beam cast down, and of high walls, sacred altars, fragments of bodies covered with clots, as if coagulated, of red blood, in confusion as in a kind of horrible wine press: there was no sepulture of any kind save the ruins of houses, or the entrails of wild beasts and birds in the open… Some of the wretched remnant were consequently captured on |the mountains and killed in heaps. Others, overcome by hunger, came and yielded themselves to the enemies, to be their slaves for ever, if they were not instantly slain, which was equivalent to the highest service….Others, trusting their lives, always with apprehension of mind, to high hills, overhanging, precipitous, and fortified, and to dense forests and rocks of the sea, remained in their native land, though with fear. After a certain length of time the cruel robbers returned to their home.
450: The Herulo-Pictish-Frisians establish themselves in Scotland where one of their number, Ler/Koller/Coelho, establishes a dynasty remembered in the lineages of the Hen Ogledd.
455: After the Saxon conquest, we may assume that the Picto-Frisian-Herulians were using Britain as their new base. The ASC tells us that, 'this year Hengest and Horsa fought with Wurtgern the king on the spot that is called Aylesford. His brother Horsa being there slain, Hengest afterwards took to the kingdom with his son Esc.'
456: Hydatius records seven ships of Heruli (totaling some 400 pirates) attacking a town in northern Portugal, after which they pillaged 'most viciously' other areas of northern Spain on their way as they returned to their naval base in Gaul.
457: The ASC tells us, 'this year Hengest and Esc fought with the Britons on the spot that is called Crayford, and there slew four thousand men.The Britons then forsook the land of Kent, and in great consternation fled to London.'
458: As the Herulian pirates headed for the straits of Gibraltar, Hydatius reports them attacking northern Portugal again, 'with excessive brutality.' Hydatius was even taken prisoner for three months by a smaller group of Heruli. These events could well connect with the Gildas reference to the Saxon invaders, who 'after a certain length of time the cruel robbers returned to their home.' Fascinatingly, Gildas follows up that statement by a record of the Britons challenging, 'their victors to battle under Ambrosius Aurelianus.' The dates sit well with a passage in Roger De Hovedon, who tells us, 'in the year of grace 464, the Britons sent messengers into Brittany to Aurelius Ambrosius and his brother Uterpendragon, who had been sent there for fear of Vortigern, beseeching them to come over from the Armorican country without delay, to drive out the Saxons and king Vortigern, and take the crown themselves. As they had now arrived at man's estate, they began to make preparations of men and ships for the expedition.'
465: The ASC tells us, 'this year Hengest and Esc fought with the Welsh, nigh Wippedfleet; and there slew twelve leaders, all Welsh. On their side a thane was there slain, whose name was Wipped.'
478: While visiting the Western Gothic king Eurich in Toulouse, Sidonius Apollonaris recorded seeing certain Herulians with a rather poetical flourish, which places the Heruls presumably on the north west fringes of Europe beside the Atlantic;
Here the Erulian roams, who lives at the sea-weed filled corners at the farthest ends of the Ocean–the Erulian with blue eyes almost the same colour as that of the ice-cold sea.
488: The ASC tells us, 'Aesc obtained the throne & was king o fthe people of Kent for twnty-four years.'
498: Just for fun, this one. After Bede places the activities of Ambrosius Aurelianus during the 17 year reign of the eastern Roman Emperor Zeno (474-491) Roger DeHovedon has Ambrosius dying in the year 498, when;
There appeared a star of wonderful size and brightness, with a single ray, on which was a ball of fire extended like a dragon, out of whose mouth proceeded two rays, one of which seemed to extend its length beyond the regions of Gaul, and the other, verging towards the Irish Sea, terminated in seven smaller rays. Struck with terror at this sight, Uther anxiously inquired of liis wise men what this star portended. They made answer, " The star and the fiery dragon under the star, are thyself; the ray which stretches towards the region of Gaul, portends that thou wilt have a very powerful son, who will possess the extensive territories which the star covered ; the other ray signifies thy daughter, whose sons and grandsons shall successively possess the kingdom of Britain. Hasten, therefore, most noble prince; thy brother Aurelius Ambrosius, the renowned king of Britain, is dead ; and with him has perished the military glory of the Britons.
Confirmation for this dating of the death of Ambrosius comes from the 6th century Chronicle of Edessa, which tells us that for many days during January 499, there was seen a great comet 'like a spear.'
508: According to the Pictish King lists, Galan Erilic, ie Galan the Herulian, becomes the Pictavian monarch. Through this occasion, and on the wings of our hyperbasis, let us sweep to the far west of Scotland and the island of Skye, where the Galan name could remain in that of the Cuillin range of mountains. Returning to the Pa Gur poem once more, we read that just before the battle against the Cynocephali at Edinburgh, the Arthurians fought against the same foes in the 'fastnesses of Dissethach.' The name connects to Tig Scathach, the 'Fort of Scathach' found on the island of Skye. Scathach is a legendary figure in the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology, a Scottish warrior woman whose homelands were Alpae, i.e. Alba. This is the moment where most historians stop their research into the affair. The thing is, we moderns must probe deeper & look for these combinations elsewhere in the records, & in this chapter's case, our Hyperbasis certainly feels to be on the right track.
To conclude, the Herulo-Picto-Frisians, those Eotens who were connected to the Oghgul race, were a definite presence in Dark Age Britain. We must here acknowledge the use by Big Geoff of the name Ambrones, which he attached to a collective body of Picts, Huns & also Saxons. The name is not used elsewhere, & I hesitate to attach it to the Herulo-Picto-Frisians without further investigations. However I do hope to have assembled enough evidence to show that when different branches of historical evidence/research are rooted in the same entity, then they can be assumed as being the same entity. In essence, instead of just assuming there is a chisper in place, we are tracing the chisper back to its source & then out again. This is a Factotree, & may be used to further secure any potential & preproscribed conjectural chispers. Another bonus of this chapter is to show how we cannot simply define a tribal group as one cohesive, untainted whole, & most be open to the comglomaragated nature of human society. In a similar context, when studying the Thurinigian settlement of Anglo-Saxon tribes, HM Chadwick writes;
The true explanation therefore seems to be that the settlers were a congeries of different nationalities which Lothair & Sigibert had brought together into the lands vacated by the Saxons.

Safeway sales positive thanks to fuel, loyal shoppers
PLEASANTON, Calif. — Sales at Safeway are looking up thanks in large part to fuel gains, but the grocer's loyalty card program is expected to continue driving that sales momentum into next year as the company rolls out its Just for U digital marketing platform and explores health-and-wellness initiatives.
"The upside in the quarter was driven mostly by better than expected sales, as [identical store sales] of [greater than] 1.5% exceeded consensus and our estimate of just under a 1% increase," Edward Kelly, research analyst for Credit Suisse, wrote in a note Thursday morning. "Bottom line here is that the quarter was much better then very low expectations. While it does not represent an inflection point in the company's challenging fundamentals, it does provide more comfort in the company's ability to achieve current years numbers against a low valuation."
Safeway also beat analyst earnings estimates and same-store sale projections.
"Our sales momentum continued to build in the third quarter, and our costs were well-controlled," stated Steve Burd, chairman, president and CEO. "At the same time, we continued to innovate throughout the business to meet our customers' needs and build their loyalty. Our 'Just for U' digital marketing platform and our proprietary Open Nature line of 100% natural foods are good examples of these efforts."
Safeway has currently rolled out its Just for U platform — a personalized deal generator that utilizes purchase histories from Safeway's loyalty card program — in just two markets. Safeway is rolling that platform into one more market this year and plans to have it available companywide by second quarter 2012, Burd told analysts Thursday morning during a conference call. And while the program has not been heavily promoted within those two markets, Burd added, those are "the two markets where we gained the most this year." Safeway is realizing double-digit sales increases across its most loyal consumers, Burd said.
The company's overall loyalty card is helping to drive positive lifts in households shopping Safeway. Deals associated with the loyalty card program are "fairly aggressive," Burd said, and are linked to savings at the pumps. Safeway has realized the greatest success in those markets saturated with Safeway fuel stations. "We have some other deals for markets that are not as well-compelemented with fuel," Burd said.
Higher fuel revenue was credited to a 26% increase in the price per gallon of gas as compared to the year-ago and a 13% lift in same-store gallons of gas sold.
Burd also suggested Safeway will be rolling out several health-and-wellness initiatives into 2012. Safeway named its first chief medical officer, Kent Bradley, in September. Bradley has been charged with lowering Safeway's healthcare outlay for its more than 200,000 covered employees. Simultaneously, Bradley is part of a team at Safeway exploring ways to monetize those health-and-wellness initiatives at its stores. For example, a weight management tool may be one of the initiatives to be introduced in the coming year, Burd said.
For the third quarter ended Sept. 10, Safeway posted sales of $10.1 billion, a 7.4% increase credited primarily to higher fuel sales. Safeway reported a 1.5% increase in identical-store sales (excluding fuel).
Safeway completed five new stores and seven Lifestyle remodels, and closed 11 stores in the quarter. For the year, Safeway plans to invest approximately $1 billion in capital expenditures, while completing 26 new Lifestyle stores and 30 Lifestyle remodels.
S&P lowers WAG to negative, citing failed ESI negotiations
CHICAGO — Standard & Poor's cut its outlook on Walgreens to negative from stable, citing the lack of progress in the drug store chain's negotiations with Express Scripts, according to a MarketWatch report published Thursday.
S&P noted that the loss of the Express Scripts contract will result in a meaningful revenue and profit decline in fiscal 2012 in initiating its outlook adjustment.
However, S&P did affirm its ratings on the company, including an 'A' corporate credit rating, MarketWatch reported.
Shares of Walgreens were down 18 cents to $32.97 in mid-morning trading.
Comps nightmare ending at Walmart
BENTONVILLE, Ark. — Two years of declining same-store sales at Walmart are poised to end next month when the retailer reports third-quarter results that reflect positive momentum from a wide range of initiatives put in place during the past 12 months, judging from comments made by senior executives during an all-day meeting with analysts on Wednesday.
Executives stopped short of updating the company's guidance provided at the end of the second quarter, which called for comps to be down 1% to up 1%, but they could hardly contain their optimism in discussing the performance of the U.S. stores division where it was revealed that comps have been positive for the last month of the second quarter and the first two months of the third quarter.
"I'm very excited to talk about the progress we are making in our U.S. business because it is substantial," Walmart U.S. president and CEO Bill Simon said during Walmart's 18th annual analysts' meeting. "We are very optimistic about our sales improvement."
Simon said the momentum in the company's business began building in May as the effects of adding back items to the product assortment, improvements in in-stock levels and increased in-store promotional activity helped the company regain lost customer traffic and increased transaction sizes.
Contributing to positive comps in August and September were back-to-school seasonal results that chief merchandising office Duncan Mac Naughton said the company was please with. Looking ahead to the holidays, he suggested Walmart is very well-positioned to maintain sales growth and he disclosed some aggressive marketing plan.
"We are very excited and very well prepared. Our marketing plan for the holidays is quite significant," Mac Naughton said.
For example, he indicated the company's television advertising will double its share of voice and suggested to those attending the meeting that if they don't see a TV spot from Walmart this holiday season they aren't watching TV. In addition, the company plans seven tab advertisements, 10 free-standing inserts, a toy catalog, a holiday entertaining guide and apparel guide that will be distributed in stores.
"We are really looking forward to the upcoming holiday season," Mac Naughton said.
Looking ahead to next year, Simon indicated Walmart will continue to accelerate the momentum of existing stores while expanding with new stores. The key driver will continue to be supercenters of which the company has plans for about 130 to 135 new units in addition to between 80 and 100 small format stores, of which the majority with be Neighborhood Market stores with about 20 store being the small Walmart Express concept where results are said to be exceeding expectations.
Walmart plans to spend between $6 billion and $6.5 billion on U.S. expansion next year, out of a total company capital expenditure budget of between $13 billion and $14 billion. The international division receives the second largest chunk of those funds with between $4.5 billion and $5 billion forecast to be spent overseas. Sam's Club will receive about $1 billion to fund the addition of 10 to 15 clubs and remodeling activity.
Walmart expects its expansion to add between 45 million to 49 million sq. ft. of new selling space which, coupled with domestic and international comp growth, will yield sales growth in the 5% to 7% range and equate to between $22 billion and $31 billion in additional sales.
"Our business is stronger today than it was a year ago and it will be stronger a year from now than it is today," Wal-Mart Stores president and CEO Mike Duke said at the conclusion of the all day meeting.

FBI Report on Flying Saucers from 1950 Released to Public
Do you know what FBI file has been read more than any other? It is a one-page report that was sent to J. Edgar Hoover and was dated March 22, 1950. It was written by an Air Force investigator whose name has been redacted in the released report, so we do not know who wrote it.
However, it is a serious FBI file that has been kept top secret in the FBI Vault on Unexplained Phenomenon until recently.
What Did the FBI Report Say?
The 1950 FBI report on flying saucers is interesting to read. In part, it says:
"Three so-called flying saucers had been recovered in New Mexico. They were described as being circular in shape with raised centers, approximately 50 feet in diameter. Each one was occupied by three bodies of human shape but only 3 feet tall, dressed in metallic cloth of a very fine texture."
The report, which was released in 2011, also explained that investigators believed that our radar had interfered with the controlling mechanisms of the flying saucers, which is why they crashed, and "no further evaluation was attempted."
The FBI Report on Flying Saucers became available to the public in the FBI Vault of Unexplained Phenomenon, and was released in 2011 under the Freedom of Information Act. It has been read over one million times.
What Happened to the Flying Saucers?
Despite the extremely unusual nature of the report and the obvious effect that flying saucers could have had on our national defense at the time, many UFO investigators ask why the report states that no further evaluation of the flying saucers was attempted. Investigators wonder if this statement even true. If no further evaluation was attempted, then what happened to the flying saucers? Are they still somewhere in the desert or were they removed and taken to a military installation … such as Area 51?
What Happened in Roswell, New Mexico?
The FBI Vault on Unexplained Phenomenon also contains information on the 1947 reported sighting of a disc shaped object above Roswell, New Mexico. According to this report, a flying disc was spotted in the sky and later recovered. It was hexagonal in shape and was suspended from a balloon by a cable. The document also said that it resembled "a high-altitude weather balloon with a radar reflector." This document has disappointed many UFO investigators who have long believed that a flying saucer was recovered in Roswell, New Mexico at the time.
The FBI Vault on Unexplained Phenomenon is fascinating and can currently be accessed online by anyone at:

AMA Calls for More Consistent Genetic Test Coverage Determinations
Pointing to the potential usefulness of genetic tests and therapeutics in patient care, the American Medical Association (AMA) is calling for greater transparency and more standardized guidelines for payer coverage.
"Precision medicine tests, technologies, and therapeutics are increasingly being adopted into clinical practice as evidence of their effectiveness grows," said William E. Kobler, MD, who serves on the association's board, in an AMA press release (November 14, 2017). "However, many patients do not have access to precision medicine because most public and private health insurers do not offer coverage for genetic or genomic services unless certain clinical criteria and evidentiary standards are met. As a result, access to this next generation of clinical testing services is often limited."
Noting considerable variability among payers regarding evidentiary requirements for coverage of genetic tests and services, physicians at the interim meeting of the AMA House of Delegates adopted a policy to encourage public and private payers to develop more consistent strategies.

Specifically, the association is encouraging payers to adopt processes and methodologies for determining coverage of genetic/genomic precision medicine that:
- · promote transparency and clarity;
- · involve multidisciplinary stakeholders, including genetic/genomic medicine experts and relevant national medical specialty societies;
- · describe the evidence being considered and methods for updating the evidence;
- · provide opportunities for comment and review, as well as meaningful reconsiderations; and
- · incorporate value assessments that consider the value of genetic/genomic tests and therapeutics to patients, families and society as a whole, including the impact on quality of life and survival

Cooperative spirit seen in Alaska
Voluntary organizations, governments, are working together to rebuild flood-damaged homes before winter
BY ZACHARY HOFFMAN | EAGLE, ALASKA | August 16, 2009
More than three months after floods tore through villages bordering the Yukon and Kuskokwim Rivers in Alaska, a unique collaborative effort combining the expertise and resources of faith-based disaster response organizations, the State of Alaska and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is providing aid to the survivors of the disaster.
More than 600 people have filed for FEMA assistance following the May floods.
In response, faith-based organizations are sending hundreds of volunteers and financial support to help rebuild and repair homes before the region's cold weather sets in this fall.
"If they (flood survivors) spend the next two months rebuilding their own houses, they miss the opportunity to prepare for the nine months of winter ahead," explained Bill McCoy of Mennonite Disaster Service (MDS).
The true challenge, according to Andy Bassich, the coordinator Eagle Rebuilding Construction Team, is that Eagle is a subsistence community where people use the three summer months to work part-time and gather food by hunting and fishing. Bassich lives near Eagle and was evacuated by helicopter with his 24-sled dogs following a harrowing experience in the May flood which destroyed his home and outbuildings.
"It's called a flood," he explained, "but it looks more like the scene of a tornado. Homes have been pushed 50 feet, some more than a mile from their foundations."
FEMA has already committed $3.7 million to individual grants and small business loans to the flood survivors. A total of 628 people have registered for assistance, from that 188 people have been approved for housing assistance and another 200 for needs assistance. The majority of the rest are pending approval, according to FEMA officials.
"What we're doing in places like Eagle is people are ordering the pre-fabricated homes and supplies with federal grant money and FEMA is paying for the delivery transportation," said Jack Heesch, a public affairs officer for FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency).
Mennonite Disaster Service (MDS) is coordinating many of the homes that are being rebuilt in Eagle and Stevens Village, while the Christian Reformed World Relief Committee (CRWRC) is focusing on Tanana recovery efforts.
Other faith-based disaster response organizations sending volunteer teams and financial aid to help residents rebuild include Lutheran Disaster Response, Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, Samaritan's Purse, United Methodist Committee on Relief, and the United Church of Christ.
To help speed response, MDS is sending about 70 volunteers in shifts of 10 to 15 to aid in rebuilding. Each shift stays for two weeks at a time working 12-hour days in harsh conditions.
The homes are log-cabin kit homes, affectionately referred to as "Lincoln Log" homes, with limited electrical and plumbing work. Since Alaska is light all day this time of year volunteers are able to take advantage and push towards the finish of each home.
"In most areas (flood survivors) are staying in schools," said Richard Whetsell president of the Alaska state Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD). "The work is not going to be done before school starts, so that is another issue we will have to deal with."
In Tanana, materials that have had to be barged in have also caused delays. "It's expensive to barge in materials so FEMA is trying to gather as much material on one barge as possible to limit costs," said Arnie Gustafson, the construction coordinator for CRWRC.
The first barge arrived in Tanana on July 15, a week late. Volunteers are now waiting for the second barge, which has been held-up by a delay in choosing a furnace for the homes.
"Ten to 13 of the (23) homes are pretty well completed already, with the exception of ductwork," said Jay DeBoer, CRWRC regional manager. Volunteers cannot install ductwork until a decision has been made on the furnaces.
"Once materials arrive, work goes relatively quickly," said Gustafson.
"There is a great spirit of cooperation between faith-based volunteers, FEMA and the state," said Jay DeBoer. "It's a great experience seeing that cooperation. Everyone recognizes the urgency; there is no competition. That was what struck me -- everyone working together to get people back on their feet."

Discussion in 'NDS - Console and Game Discussions' started by Tac 21, Mar 1, 2010.
I noticed the big one got shut down. lack of interest for the DS lately?
what are you talking about?
what is the big one?
Erm...I have the same question...
I think he means that the newest games (especial DS games) dont get cheats quickly because the hackers are lazy.
You mean the cheat database? Yeah looks like it, last update on December 8th...
I hope they pick it up again at some point.
This one not good enough for you?
It's great, I just never noticed it.
Oh, that's what he meant...
The main database gets updated by Narin, but he's often quite busy now. The other members of the CCC update the Temporary database.
If you ever check #ndscheats on IRC they're always hard at work looking at new releases.
Ragnarok DS
Yugioh 2010
we got most of those codes out by tempers in less than 5-6 hours of the release
is that good enough...
anyway, talking about Narin...
i feel real sad for him..
everytime he tries to open a database with r4cce
his pc just dies on him....
maybe he needs a new computer
thanks guys. I found it. that's the one.
whats this one here for then?

Lake Minnewaska

It is a popular lake for anglers and recreational water activities. It also has a few public swimming beaches, one in Glenwood and the other in Starbuck. Also known for its fishing, Lake Minnewaska offers a wide range of fishing opportunities. The lake is managed for walleye and although the population has decreased in the last few years, the walleye population has remained higher than expected. Walleye are not the only thing anglers target at Lake Minewaska. Other popular fish include largemouth and smallmouth bass, bluegill, black crappie, northern pike, and yellow perch. Over the years largemouth and smallmouth bass populations have expanded in recent years. It has actually become a popular choice for organized bass tournaments. If panfish is more your style there are an abundance of good sized bluegill and crappie found in the lake.

Alright guys last night I attended the Soigne Runway Fashion Show at the Regional Art Commission. This event was brought to us by Jaron Eggleston who "is an innovative Celebrity Wardrobe Fashion Stylist based in St.louis MO. His portfolio ranges from fashion editorials to advertisements, music videos, album covers, celebrity styling, BET AWARDS and more. Jaron is the chief and editor of Delux magazine and also is the stylist for Grammy award winner Chrisette Michele. He has worked with gospels artists such as Alexis Spight off of Bet's Sunday Best, Grammy Winner Leandria Johnson, Bet's Sunday Best Winner Amber Bullock, Gospel Producer Cedric Reeves, Gospel Recording Artist Arnetta Murrill-Crooms, Cory Barett, and Earnest Pugh. He has also worked with up and coming artist G The Singer. His work has since been seen on countless fashion shows and his work has been seen live on The Stellers."
Overall I will say it was an OK experience, I wish I could give every experience I go to 5 stars with flying colors but there were some things that could have been done differently. First I want to thank the staff for taking a moment of silence for Mike Brown, if you aren't aware my city right now is going through a tragic loss followed by chaos (you'll learn more in my next blog post) so I thought that was respectful to the family to do so. One thing that could have been handled differently was the fact that this event didn't have the tickets accessible until the week of the show. For two weeks straight I went searching trying to find out how to purchase tickets, even checking the website of the venue but couldn't find anything. Another thing that I personally have an issue with is that there's a difference between general and VIP admission. If I pay more money for a VIP ticket that means I get more perks, even if it's just sitting front row. I felt a little irritated when a lot of the general admission attendees decided to take it upon themselves to sit where the VIP was suppose to sit. Other things that could have been handled differently was maybe an age restriction, more direction from staff to guests and mingling activities before the actual show started, as we were all sitting for an hour and a half waiting for the show to start. Something else that bothered me was that guests were walking in with fast food. Not just a cup that someone was finishing and throwing it away at the door, but full on meals. Just in my experience attending fashion shows that is not acceptable. One last thing that is a definite no no is the fact that on the program it did not list all of the designers. In my eyes the most prominent one (House Ov Beeombi) was left off. Even though there were flaws that stood out I will say the fashion stood out more and in a fabulous way! Here are the designs that were featured last night:
Simply Awesome:
House Ov Beeombi
J'Ron Lavell
Overall I would give this production a 3, even though there were some things I pointed out that could have been done differently I still enjoyed myself, because at the end of the day it was about the fashion, which was simply marvelous! If you want more information regarding J'Ron Lavell visit his Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook, and also stay tuned for more events!
